For many seafarers, providing for their families can mean spending months at a time away from them — sometimes as long as nine months.

Mission to Seafarers Sydney CEO Clayton Strong joins Hope Drive to share what life is really like for crews far from home, including the extraordinary story of a captain whose daughters watched his ship pass their hometown and called for their dad to come home.

Clayton also shares the heartbreaking reality for some seafaring fathers whose young children struggle with their long absences, and explains how Mission to Seafarers offers practical care, friendship and Christian chaplaincy to crews of all faiths and backgrounds when they arrive in Sydney.
